I remember seeing a design for Brawn to be made out of Strongarm for either Botcon or the Classics line but now that I'm looking for it, I don't seemed to have saved it. Anybody care to help a bot out?

That'd be the fella I was thinking of, too.
There were also a Hot Spot/Defensor retooled from RiD Prime, a TM2-style Megatron from RiD Megs, Roadbuster also remoulded from Strongarm, and Devcon remoulded from Energon Slugslinger. Unfortunately none of them were actually released, although I think the Defensor one was actually proto'd but not mass-produced.

Thanks Hawk. That's the one. Now to find my Strongarm...
Ramrider, the Defensor sounds cool. Probably why they never made it. Damn Hasblow!

Isn't it funny what a head retool and a little paint can do? The figure would have went to massive pegwarmer to sold out in days. In fact there are STILL energon strongarms at the k-mart here. Sad...

Last question: what's with the blue hand? Were they going to give him a Power Glove or something? Brawn would still play Mike Tyson's Punch Out... :-?

They were energon gloves.

The TFCC people ended up using several molds that were going to be old 3H Club exclusives as different guys.

They ended up using the base mold for a Botcon exclusive eventually as Timelines Fallback. The base mold that was going to be Devcon became Timelines Airazor. The base mold that was to become Universe Megatron became Timelines Deathsaurus.

True, but I think that was more a matter of Takara already had those molds pulled and handy. But they did give is new heads on two of those.

I'd love to see this Brawn come out, the poor guy has never gotten a decent toy.
